The Bach Cantata Vespers series at St. James presents four Bach cantatas each season as the centerpiece of the Evening Prayer liturgy. Psalms, hymns, homily, and additional choral music all reflect the theme of the cantata. The St. James Bach Choir is joined by professional soloists and orchestra.

Louisa May Alcott’s beloved story of the lives of the four March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy — as they pass from childhood into womanhood is brilliantly brought to the stage through Adamo’s libretto and music.
